Pooches And Their People Make A Splash For The ASPCA, 9/7

At least 40 pet lovers and their pool-loving pooches headed out to the Dog Run in New York City for the 2nd annual Leashes and Lovers "Dog Dogs of Summer" pool party, which benefited the ASPCA. Among those on hand to mix, mingle, do the doggy paddle and watch the canine bathing suit contest were Steven Stark and his dog, Bru, shown here.
